What Are Stryker Spine Plates?

The Stryker OASYS Midline Occipital Plate is a spinal plate that was used in cervical spinal fusion surgery. This device was introduced in April 2010 for patients who required stabilization at the junction between the occipital bone and the vertebrae in the cervical spine.

Unfortunately, reports of adverse effects were reported early after the device hit the market. In April 2013, Stryker issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall for all OASYS Midline Occipital Plates distributed between April 23, 2010 and February 12, 2013. Since then, lawsuits have been filed against Stryker for complications such as blood loss, nerve injuries, and the need for revision surgeries.

It is important to note that the Class I recall is the most serious type of device recall in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or even death.
